One of the most devastating consequences of diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition, diabetic foot ulcer. Numerous investigations are being targeted to explore newer compounds for treatment of diabetic foot ulcer wounds in diabetic patients. Hesperidin (HSP), an isoflavone glycoside has been established to exhibit antidiabetic and antioxidant potential. In the current investigation, diabetes was induced in rats by administration by streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneally (50 mg/kg). Wound-healing capacity was estimated in hind paw of rats by artificially initiating wound injury on the paw dorsal surface. The injured animals were administered with incremental doses of HSP suspension orally (10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg) and insulin subcutaneously (10 IU/kg). Parameters such as wound area were estimated every 2 days, and at the end of 20 days of study, biochemical estimations in serum and histopathological observations of the wound were made. HSP (60 and 80 mg/kg) revealed statistically significant ( P < 0.05) improvement in wound dimension, glucose and insulin concentration, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C). Administration of HSP indicated significant ( P < 0.05) modulation of mRNA associated with expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), whereas the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 levels were lowered compared to the control group of animals. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) indicated expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 and 2 (VEGFR1 and VEGFR2) compared to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Histological observations indicated higher expression of VEGF in the groups receiving HSP, indicative of angiogenesis stimulation in the diabetic wound. The results advocate angiogenesis activity of HSP was enhanced owing to reduction in hyperglycemia and oxidative stress–induced damage, reduced expression of inflammatory mediators, and enhanced expression of growth-related factors, thereby promoting healing of diabetic foot ulcer.

BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an essential component of extracellular matrix and mediates signaling in wound healing. HA could induce growth factor release from Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF), including Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF). However, concentrations of the released-VEGF and PDGF have not been clearly disclosed. Therefore, current study was conducted to measure the release of these growth factors in HA + A-PRF gel of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) subjects.METHODS: Twenty DFU subjects were included in the study and treated with A-PRF or HA+A-PRF. A-PRF was derived from autologous peripheral blood and processed with low-speed centrifugation. HA was added with a ratio of 1:0.6. A-PRF or HA + A-PRF was applied topically on DFU. Upper tips of A-PRF or HA + A-PRF gels were collected on day 0, 3 and 7 for measurements of VEGF and PDGF concentrations with Enzyme-linked Immune-sorbent Assay (ELISA) methods.RESULTS: On day-3, both VEGF and PDGF concentrations of HA + A-PRF group were significantly higher than the VEGF (p=0.000) and PDGF (p=0.019) concentrations of A-PRF group. The VEGF and PDGF concentrations were continuously and significantly increased on day-7 of HA + A-PRF group, compared to the VEGF (p=0.000) and PDGF (p=0.004) concentrations of A-PRF group.CONCLUSION: Combination HA+A-PRF induces VEGF and PDGF release from A-PRF. A mixture of A-PRF and HA could be more effective than A-PRF alone for treatment of DFU.KEYWORDS: hyaluronic acid, advanced platelet rich fibrin, PRF, growth factor, VEGF, PDGF, diabetic foot ulcer

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a kind of chronic vascular complications in diabetes. Wound healing in DFU is a complex process where reduced proangiogenic growth factor is an important factor. We studied angiogenesis factors which may contribute to the healing of DFU. Twenty five type 2 diabetes patients with acute DFU were treated with hospital standard procedure and closely observed for 1 month. Biopsies from wound edges were subjected to histopathology assessment and immunohistochemical staining of CD34, bFGF and VEGF. All examination was performed two times consecutively. We observed that granulation tissues developed faster at proximal site of the foot. Weak tissue VEGF was expressed before treatment. Interestingly, VEGF expression in epidermis increased significantly after patients received treatment. Increased VEGF is consistent with increased number of CD34 positive endothelial cells. These data suggest that epidermal VEGF is an important angiogenesis factor and may improve healing in acute DFU receiving standard treatment.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the wound healing potential and possible mechanism of action of the standardized extract of Boswellia serrata against the experimental model of diabetic foot ulcer. α-Boswellic acid was isolated from the standardized extract of B. serrata and characterized (HPLC, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, ESI-MS). Diabetes was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by streptozotocin (55 mg/kg, i. p.), and wounds were created on the dorsal surface of the hind paw. B. serrata (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, p. o.) was administered to the rats for 16 days. The HPLC analysis showed a single peak with a retention time of 12.51 min. The compound was identified with ESI-MS [M + Na]+ = 455.37 as α-boswellic acid. Treatment with B. serrata (200 and 400 mg/kg) significantly increased the rate of wound contraction via modulation of oxido-nitrosative stress and elevated the hydroxyproline level at the wound area. reverse transcription-PCR analysis revealed that streptozotocin-induced increases in TNF-α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, nuclear factor-kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells, and Bcl-2-associated X protein, and decreases in angiopoietin-1, Tie2, transforming growth factor beta 1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and collagen-1 mRNA expression were significantly inhibited by B. serrata. It also significantly reduced wound cellular necrosis as evaluated by flow cytometry using propidium iodide fluorescence intensity. Streptozotocin-induced histopathological alterations were also significantly ameliorated by B. serrata. In conclusion, standardized extracts of B. serrata exert its wound healing potential via orchestrating mechanisms, which include the inhibition of oxido-inflammatory markers (oxido-nitrosative stress, TNF-α, interleukins, and nuclear factor-kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells), increased collagen synthesis (hydroxyproline and collagen-1) and angiogenesis (Ang-1/Tie2), promoting growth factors (transforming growth factor beta 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor), and inhibition of apoptosis (Bcl-2-associated X protein) to accelerate wound healing in experimental delayed diabetic foot ulcer.
